I Got New Glasses! With Bonus MSIE Bug.

Hey! Enki has moved his blog to Armyofevilrobots.com. Check it out after you are done here. This page is going nowhere though...

I finally got a new pair of glasses! Check em out! The previous glasses were chipped, scratched, and otherwise destroyed. I guess that I am not allowed to ride these while dirt jumping though...

As an added bonus, when I posted this article, I found a bug in the MSIE 6 interpretation of CSS when creating :hover borders (border-color) on img items...

Bug as follows:

See this...

A { color:#99CCFF; text-decoration:none; }
A:link { color:#99CCFF; text-decoration:none; }
A:visited { color:#99CCFF; text-decoration:none; }
A:active { color:#99CC66; }
A:hover { color:#99CC66; }

works just fine under Netscape/Mozilla. You have to also add this:

A img { border-color:#99CCFF; text-decoration:none; }
A:link img { border-color:#99CCFF; text-decoration:none; }
A:active img { border-color:#99CC66; text-decoration:none; }
A:hover img { border-color:#99CC66; text-decoration:none; }
A:visited img { color:#99CCFF; text-decoration:none; }

... in order to get it to work in Internet Explorer, but some users only see half the hover border.

Did I mention that I really like Mozilla? Not as many whizbang features, but the ones that are there actually implement the standards properly.

p.s. No IE loving flames. If you are going to defend a poor DOM/CSS implementation in favor of whizzy non-standard features, then I don't respect your opinion enough to listen.
